Was that an indirect reference to stupidity here? Are my posts really that amusing? Well I guess they would be, since the word "amusement" means "not to think", and that is what I am being accused of here. I read an article once about the greater need for RPT's. I am beginning to realize why now. Hmmm.... Oh, and things are not always what they "seem". I wanted to know the proper procedure to correct a problem. One time I ran across a broken rep. spring on a grand. Now, I could of used the right side of my brain, the artistic side, and tied a piece of dental floss around the jack to keep it out of the way of the knuckle. But I said to myself, No! I will use the left side of my brain, the reasoning side, and order a new part! Or was this a time to be brain dead? According to your logic, I can be quite good at that.
